Race relations in the North historically differed from those in the South, with Northern states generally being less overtly segregated and discriminatory. However, systemic racism and discrimination still persisted, particularly in housing, employment, and education. While the North did not have Jim Crow laws, racial tensions often erupted in urban areas, leading to riots and conflicts, particularly during the Great Migration when African Americans moved northward. Overall, while the North was seen as a refuge for many African Americans, it still faced significant racial challenges.
